(099) Miss Shude
The two were talking about speculation, and a maid said that Mrs. Xiao had something to report.
Jiang Yaoyao asked her mother-in-law to come in, but her mother-in-law didn't expect that there would be female guests, and was hesitating, Jiang Yaoyao motioned for her to say directly.
"The second young grandmother, the mother-in-law of the Zhang family, came to make trouble again, saying that she had to give an extra fifty taels of silver, saying that Lang Zhong said that they were in charge, this is the root of the disease, and it will be good in the future." Mrs. Xiao said.
"Okay, I know, you tell her, the old rule, tomorrow morning, my director's time, she will come again." Jiang Yaoyao said.
Mrs. Xiao got up and said goodbye.
"Rongrong, saying so much is all on paper, you come tomorrow morning, and I will show you the world of splashing skin." Jiang Yaoyao said.
"That Zhang family's mother-in-law is very difficult, isn't it?" Yun Xiangrong asked.
"Yes, the old man. If it weren't for Aunt Zhang, who would have messed around with her for so long. Oh, Aunt Zhang is my father-in-law's aunt, and Zhang's mother-in-law is her relative, because his son will help bring something or pass on a message to Aunt Zhang's daughter in the Daimyo's Mansion, that is, my eldest sister Ding Yuemei, who is in charge of the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, so she is very good at sticking gold to herself. Ding Yaoyao said.
"Why does the daughter of the Duke of Fuguo marry so far away?" Yun Xiangrong said.
"That's a long story." Ding Yaoyao said.
When Fuguo Gong was young, there was a maid who had a room, two years older than him, and later got married, and the Duchess of Fuguo saw that she was very honest, so she mentioned an aunt in her duty, and who did not have an aunt in the capital.
If the Duke of Fuguo didn't have an aunt, the capital would definitely say that the Duchess of Fuguo was jealous and had a bad reputation.
Duchess Fuguo is the eldest son of Mr. Ding Renyi, and later Aunt Zhang became pregnant and gave birth to Ding Yuemei, the girl looked average, but later she also studied in the women's private school in the capital. There is no problem with the conduct.
When it was time for her to talk about marriage, Aunt Zhang was afraid that her daughter would not marry well, so she went to ask the Duchess of Fuguo to record her daughter in her name.
But the marriage has always been very tangled, in order to avoid suspicion, the Duchess of Fuguo did not participate, and they were all helped by Fuguo Gong and Ding Renyi, and they fell in love with the two families.
One is an upstart in the capital who has just been admitted to the Jinshi. The family is rich, but there is no foundation in the court.
The man knew that Ding Yuemei was a young lady who was born but was recorded in the name of the main mother, and this kind of thing couldn't be hidden in the capital, but the man still agreed, after all, he was a relative of the Fuguo Mansion. In the future, there will be a response to officialdom.
There is another one that Ding Renyi likes, a deputy general in the army, born in a martial arts champion, and is a fourth-grade official. The future is immeasurable, that is, the family background is average, but her parents are long gone, and Ding Yuemei can call the shots when she enters the door. The other party is quite willing.
Aunt Zhang thinks it's not good, the first one doesn't have an official position, it is said that the family relationship is also complicated, it's not easy to get it, the second one is not good, the eldest lady of the Fuguo Mansion married into that kind of poor family, what's the use of saying it, there is no family background at all.
Aunt Zhang once worked as a maid for the ** of Fuguo Gong for two years, and when she was not married, Aunt Zhang was promoted as an aunt, and the relationship between the two has always been good.
Back then, it was the marriage of the old auxiliary country's ** platoon, and she was married, and later his Langjun became the governor of Hebei, she went back to her parents' house, and knew that Aunt Zhang was going to marry a daughter, so she thought of one person, Li Xun, the Tanhualang of the year, she actually didn't see herself, and she knew that she had been appointed by the imperial court as the Daimyo Mansion Yin.
The person happened to be in the capital, and he was introduced to the Fuguo Mansion.
In fact, Fu Guogong felt that this person was not good, he was not honest enough, and he felt very erratic, and Ding Renyi also felt average. And the family background is not very good, but it is also said in the past.
Aunt Zhang felt that this person was a tanhua and must have developed well, so she agreed. But she didn't want to think about why other Tanhua would stay in Hanlin Courtyard, why should this Tanhua be decentralized.
The family affair was thus settled, and the two became married.
At first, the husband and wife were fine, but later Li Xun knew that Ding Yuemei was not a concubine at all, but a concubine, but was only recorded in the name of the Duchess of Fuguo, so he was very angry and felt that he had been deceived.
He didn't want to think about how it was possible for someone to marry him if he was a descendant of Gen Hongmiaozheng?
Ding Yuemei later also knew that Li Xun had a wife, because she was hit by Tanhua, so she wrote a letter of resignation, feeling that this person had a problem with his character.
Later, Ding Yuemei gave birth to a son.
The mother-in-law moved in with them, and Ding Yuemei really felt the suffering of the world.
The mother-in-law in the countryside started from her angry daughter-in-law, and the previous daughter-in-law was very at her mercy, although the current Ding Yuemei is high-born, she is also a concubine, and her mother's home is far away, so she has no scruples.
Although Ding Yuemei is a concubine, the Fuguo Mansion is a family that talks about rules, and she has never been angry, and her life experience can't resist this mother-in-law at all, she can't quarrel, and she can't fight.
I was angry and ran back to my parents' house. Mother and daughter cry to each other.
Slowly the relationship between the husband and wife faded, and Li Xun accepted two aunts in three years, but at this time, Ding Yuemei was no longer angry, because she didn't care at all.
Ding Yuemei knew that Li Xun couldn't do anything with her, after all, her maiden family was the Fuguo Mansion, and if Li Xun wanted to be promoted, she would definitely ask her maiden family.
"Has Li Xun been promoted?" Yun Xiangrong asked.
"No, that's that easy, Renyou said that he may also have bad luck, in recent years, there have always been problems in the Daimyo's Mansion, and the performance appraisal can't pass, even if you want to, you can't mention it." Jiang Yaoyao said.
"Oh, then this Ding sister's life is a little bitter." Yun Xiangrong said.
"She's okay, I've wanted to open it for a long time, I go out to visit the door when I'm fine, she only cares about her dowry, and all the work is given to her mother-in-law, and the two aunts love to compete for favor casually, anyway, she will end up idle. However, it is said that Li Xun raised a small one outside. Jiang Yaoyao said.
"What's the matter, the sister of the Ding family must be sad to death." Yun Xiangrong said
"No, she came back during the Chinese New Year today, and I think she looks better than when she came back last year." Jiang Yaoyao said.
"Oh, that's really trying to go. I think my cousin is right, you should control men's money, so you can't be a demon outside. What does this Master Li think, aren't the four women in the family annoying enough? Still looking for? Yun Xiangrong said.
"Big brother won't, I guess he has planned to let you help him watch some assets in his hands, big brother is actually a simple person, you don't have to worry about things outside, he will do it well, but when he goes home, he wants to spread it and don't do anything. Li Xun I have seen, he is not a lustful person, but his background determines some basic cognitions, and he may think that more women in the family are the face. Jiang Yaoyao said.
"He has enough women, except for the lady who ignores her, the other three are the ones who ask him for money. But isn't it the same to ask for money to find one outside? Yun Xiangrong said.
"If you raise someone outside, you can save money, and if you don't agree with each other, it's not so simple to marry someone who comes in." Jiang Yaoyao said.
"That's right, according to the provisions of the "Xiliang Statute", the aunt who has given birth to a child must also share the property with Heli. Eldest sister, let's talk far away, you haven't said why the Zhang family's mother-in-law came to make trouble? Yun Xiangrong said
"When Aunt Zhang was promoted to aunt, my father-in-law gave him two small Zhuangzi, which were in the suburbs of Beijing, and the income was not high, and the two Zhuangzi were only 1,000 taels of silver a year. She didn't worry about others, so she asked her relatives to help watch Zhuangzi. It is Mrs. Zhang's family, since her daughter returned to her parents' house last time she was angry, in order to save face for her daughter, she has sent things to her daughter every quarter in the name of the Duchess of Fuguo. Jiang Yaoyao said.
"I pity the hearts of parents all over the world, and I am afraid that my daughter will be angry outside. Does the Duchess of Fuguo know? Yun Xiangrong said.
"Of course I know, the things I bought were all paid for by Aunt Zhang, and I didn't spend the money of the Guogong Mansion, and my mother-in-law also understood her difficulty, even if she acquiesced, but this made the Zhang family's mother-in-law misunderstand, she really thought that sending things to the Daimyo Mansion was the meaning of the Duchess of Fuguo, after all, my sister-in-law was recorded in my mother-in-law's name. So I felt that my son was being reused when he went to the Daimyo's mansion, and a few days ago, the head of his family broke his leg because he was drunk and drove a car, so he came to the mansion to make trouble, saying that it was a public injury. Jiang Yaoyao said.
"Also, no one will say this to Mrs. Zhang, but if her son is like this, it can barely be regarded as a public injury? How did she calculate her father-in-law? Drinking and catching a car, it's not bad if he misses work. Besides, Zhuangzi was no longer from the Fuguo Mansion more than 20 years ago, so the money was not from the Gongfu, right? If you want to come out, Aunt Zhang will come out. Yun Xiangrong said.
"Yes, she knows that Aunt Zhang has no money, and she is making trouble in vain, and she knows that the Fuguo Mansion is not bad, and she wants to save face, so she will come to the mansion to do it repeatedly." Jiang Yaoyao said.
"Eldest sister, you decided to give out the silver because you sympathized with Aunt Zhang, right?" Yun Xiangrong said.
"Hey, you don't know, every year when the eldest sister of the Ding family returns to her parents' house for the New Year, Aunt Zhang is afraid that her son-in-law will know that her daughter is a concubine, so she deliberately does not show up, and secretly looks at her daughter from a distance, I am also a mother, and I feel sad when I look at it." Jiang Yaoyao said.
"Eldest sister, don't think so, my mother often says that poor people must have something to hate, if it wasn't for her insistence on helping her daughter choose a family affair, this situation would not have occurred, in the capital, who dares to bully the daughter of the Fuguo family like this, even if it is a concubine, the Duchess of Fuguo will be honest when she sits there." Yun Xiangrong said.
"Aunt Zhang, I was afraid that others would say that her daughter was a concubine, so she chose to marry far away, if she could accept this reality calmly, she would not be in today's situation." Jiang Yaoyao said.
"Transfer Li Xun to the capital, I see what else he can do." Yun Xiangrong said.
"You think that's not what my father-in-law thinks? After all, it was her daughter, and there was not much difference between her concubine and concubine, they were all his own flesh and blood. But as soon as there was a vacancy in the capital, many people were staring at it, and Li Xun's performance assessment was not very good, and it was too difficult to transfer to the city. Jiang Yaoyao said.
